deploy fails when there are no existing events in log

[lynchem]

If you try to deploy to an app that hasn't been deployed for a month it quite possibly will have no logs and a couple of places in this lib will fail. I'm not sure exactly what the EB retention policy / cap is on events logs but my observations says it's 1 month / 100 records - but there's no where to configure this and who knows if they'll reduce it further in the future making this even more noticeable.

The two in question are: return Events[0].EventDate; in getLastEvent return new Date(Events[0].EventDate); in showEvents

This all seems to be fixed in #178

If that code is good could we try release an rc to test it out @zodern ?

Hi @lynchem,

a similar issue was reported here: https://github.com/zodern/mup-aws-beanstalk/issues/177#issuecomment-1862543617

Would you be interested to try a version of this plugin that I have been using successfully for many months now. To test your theory, I just deployed a project that hasn't had an update in at least 3 months.

I have the plugin here, I think you should be able to install it with npm i @activitree/mup-aws-beanstalk@https://github.com/activitree/mup-aws-beanstalk.git The version is 0.9.5

This package has all libraries updates to date. If this works ok for you, perhaps I should push a PR to the original package.

Hey thanks @paulincai . Yes, I work with @tcastelli 😆 We were trying to find the most relevant issue but I think the other one was something else where this issue also cropped up. We don't have any way to test your package right now, save creating a new app/environment. Unless there's a way to purge the event log?

It would be great to get a PR open to the original too and hopefully zodern can take a look and get it updated.
